Private 7-Day Black Sea to Tbilisi: Trabzon, Uzungöl, Ayder, Batumi & Kutaisi
Overview
A one-way private journey from Trabzon in Turkey to Tbilisi in Georgia, linking the green Black Sea highlands with Georgia’s coast, caves and capital. You start at Trabzon Airport and finish in Tbilisi, so there is no backtracking and no need to return to Turkey.
Your own licensed guide every day: every departure includes a private, licensed English-speaking guide plus a private vehicle and driver – only your group, never strangers. Prices are per person and get lower the more people travel together (1 to 8 travellers).
Your Turkish driver takes you to the Sarp border; a Georgian driver meets you on the other side. Both legs are private, with daily departures from mid-May to mid-October.
